About this map

The Chattahoochee River carves the border between Alabama and Georgia in this 2011 survey, defining a landscape of river landings and agricultural industry. The town of Gordon serves as a central hub, connected to the river by Gordon Landing and supported by its own Gordon Post Office and Gordon Cemetery. To the south, Alaga sits along Old US Highway 84, illustrating the importance of transport corridors near the river's edge.

Evidence of local heritage is found in family-named landmarks and small settlements like Liberty, Calumet, and Philadelphia. The river itself is dotted with historical points of access including Shackleford Landing, Potters Landing, and Hayesville Landing. Local industry and aviation are represented by the Georgia-Pacific Airport and Great Northern Airport, while the Cedar Springs Lookout Tower stands near Cedar Springs, overlooking the varied terrain of Sawhatchee Creek and Chambers Branch.
